Roof repairs in Boldmere

A repair on a Boldmere terrace is rarely difficult roofing. It is difficult logistics. The streets off Boldmere Road have terraces on both sides, no rear vehicle access on most of them, and cars parked solid from seven in the morning. Before we can talk about your slipped slates we have to work out how a scaffold gets to the back of your house, and sometimes the answer involves your neighbours, a permit, or carrying it through your hallway.

That is why we come and look rather than quote off a description. Two identical faults on two identical Victorian terraces can be quite different money, purely because one has an entry to the rear and one does not. We would rather tell you that standing in your kitchen than surprise you with an access line on an invoice.

The faults themselves are consistent here and they are nearly all at joints. Cracked cement fillets round shared stacks where there should be soakers and stepped flashing. Perished valley linings between properties. Slates that have let go because the nails are finished rather than because anything hit them. And the Boldmere special: a leak in your house whose actual cause is on your neighbour's side of a shared stack. That happens often enough that we will offer to knock next door and have the conversation for you.
